Our stay was good. Kitchen cabinets need to be replaced along with the front door. Lacking some cabinet knobs and front door total mess. Front porch and ramp need much work. Bed very comfortable. Guess all is good but just needs much updating.

Cozy Cottage

The cottage is just great for a few guests. It was clean, quiet, and equipped with everything you would need. The description on the website was exactly how it is. It is in a location that is close to main roads that take you into Boise and Meridian. I would stay there again.

This was a very comfortable place. Loved the notes all around. There was coffee and laundry detergent/dryer sheets, making it easy to clean up after floating on the river. TV streaming options were great as was the shower. Communication was easy with host. Great value for the price!

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Check-in
The cottage was satisfactory for a short stay with my pup. The back yard was small and the gate did not function well. Note a nice view of airplanes landing at the nearby airport. The planes could not be heard from inside the cottage.I found the carport too small for loading and access to a full size truck so I just parked outside it. The ground and entry walk are uneven and could be a tripping hazard for less agile people. The uneven pavers and driveway gravels plus a general unkept landscape gave the appearance of unprofessional construction. The interior had some new finishing including the hardwood flooring and the bathroom was nice. Overall the house could use some additional lighting in the bedroom closet area. Some exterior lights (decorative) did not function and light switches were wired upside down. Some wiring running to the outside shed appeared hazardous. The kitchen was dated and cabinet doors did not close well. Although there were plenty of dishes to use there was no dishwasher. One frying pan had been put away dirty so the cleaning crew should watch for this. There was also too much clutter in the cabinets with many unnecessary items left in the storage areas. Also the TV remotes may need to be replaced as they did not function well and the streaming was slow.Overall I would rate equivalent to a two-star hotel.

About the host

Hosted by Jenn Yehle

Host profile image
I am a host that loves to host as much as I love to travel to other vacation rentals. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have 3 children. We love to travel to beaches, lakes, hot springs and anywhere in nature. We love to host people in our cottage as it is close to town but gives us plenty of nature. Many guest will be fortunate to see baby geese, ducks and even occasional baby kittens. We are continually updating the cottage to have a warm and comforting place for out of towners to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Quiet older neighborhood in Boise, within 5-15 minutes to everything in Boise. We love the fact that we are so close to everything in Boise, but we still have the feeling of the country. Guests should look to stay at our cottage if they want a cozy cottage feel. We think the cottage is like a great pair of worn jeans, so comfy, and cozy.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything, without all the hustle and bustle of city life. Peaceful setting within minutes to anything in Boise.
